    I have been going to Melissa Soon for 25 years-- I don't dare let anyone else touch my hair. She has been there for all of the most important moments of my life and have always made me look young and fresh and beautiful. Melissa and her entire team (Igor is also a genius of color and updos) are the crème de la crème of hair. They understand the beauty trends and the zeitgeist better than any salon. The care and counsel they take with every client is beyond compare. Plus, it's a bonus that they are also super fun!

    I had my hair cut today at Soon Beauty Lab and walked out nearly looking the same way I walked in. BUT, that's a good thing. Here's the background info. I last had a hair cut nearly 10 months ago due in part because I was letting my hair grow longer. The person who usually cuts my hair wasn't available since she operates via a mobile van. Fyi, I've visited this salon on two other occasions in the past (and was never wowed). Keep in mind, I rarely look to have anything drastic done when getting my hair cut hence the ho hum sentiment when I walk out of most salons. Today, I convinced myself it was about time to get some kind of a shaping to get rid of the split ends. Enter Soon Lab (again) located in my neighborhood. When i walked in, I had a consultation with who was to be my stylist and decided to shape up and proceed with getting my hair done. The staff was welcoming, offering tea, water or wine. I settled for a peppermint tea (in a lovely tea cup with saucer). The interior was stylish with about 4 hair stations. Large enough. I expressed my concern to my stylist and it was confirmed I didn't want anything drastic done. Basically, a trim and slight shaping. My stylist who was considered "junior" was respectful of my wishes as well as cautious (most likely due to some of my past horror stories I shared). I was relieved. As my hair was being cut, I already knew I wouldn't walk out displeased. My only nitpick wad that since my hair is curly, my stylist randomly blew my hair to draw out the excess water---a little too much. As a result, the finished product looked okay except for the ends which looked dried out. No serum applied corrected it. Once i got home, i had to re-wet my ends and dry them. I was a little annoyed having to do this. Still, I was and am happy with my haircut. I liked my stylist's energy and vibe. She was super friendly and a pleasure to talk to. BTW, my cut was $70 including tax but not tip. The four stars is for the overall experience, haircut and the ease of communicating with my stylist.

    thanks for always making my hair look amazeballs, Megan!

    Curiously, I realized that I always, always get my hair *cut* at Soon Beauty MANHATTAN, but I get it *coloured* at THIS location! Anyhow, maybe because I'm more flexible with my cut but slightly paranoid about colour jobs, and my fave girl Megan always makes my locks look amazing here. The first time I rolled in I was 100% ash blonde all over (solid colour) and I had Megan add some darker tones on top for a balayage effect (see photo, left side!). After hours of running outdoors, I found I was getting blonder ... and blonder ... aaaand blonder. Quite frankly I was getting a little bored so I just impulsively decided to go big and red again. I showed Megan a few photos and she absolutely NAILED the colour. Just when I thought I couldn't be happier, she also offered to mix me up a custom batch of colour-boosting conditioner to take home, since we all know how bottle red likes to wash out quickly. Knowing me, I'll be back in a few months asking for blue hair (you think i'm joking? ha!) and I'm sure Megan will nail it once again! Although it's not the cheapest place around, it is totally worth every dollar spent.

    The salon is cute but I got a really BAD haircut. I ended up with what looks like really split ends from the way it was cut.

    The salon is cute and they have a great selection of products but I got a really BAD haircut. Especially for what I paid and with a senior stylist. I'm a Hairstylist myself so I know I got a really jacked cut. Went in for a trim and a few layers as I was planning to grow out my hair. I got really disconnected layers that multiple people have pointed out to me. I don't even know how she cut it that badly. I have healthy hair but ended up with what looks like really split ends from the way it was cut.

    Pink and fried to the point the stylist had to cut off half my length. Unimpressed by this salon especially at their price point.

    I have been twice to this salon and would not go back. The first time I was not impressed with the work done for the price point they are at, but I wanted to give them another chance and I ended up regretting it. I met with Igor to discuss the look I was aiming for (blonde balayage) and the possible risks going to a shade in that color wheel. He stated that with my color, the worst that could happen was that my hair would not take the color and would be golden toned rather than the ashy tone I wanted. He said he would just balance the highlights I already had from my prior visit if he thought anything else could happen. He colored my hair and it turned pink. He also completely fried the ends to the extent he said it was un-salvageable and stated he had to cut my hair. I was never coming in for a hair cut in the first place, but as my hair was ruined, I agreed because he could not get rid of the pink he said and that "I would never be able to style my hair" if he didn't cut it. He ended up cutting off half my length off, which only got it to a reasonable state, there is still some of the color lingering but going shorter was impossible. The color also wasn't even balayage, he just dyed me completely blonde. After 6+ hours of him ruining my hair, he and the manager dared try to charge me full for the color, AND cut, and a conditioning treatment I didn't even know happened nor was asked if I wanted. When I stated that this was unfair as he ruined my hair and I wanted to speak to the owner, the manager passively aggressively stated that I would never get further than her as all inquiries and complaints go to her first. They made excuses, stated that he told me it could turn pink (which is a lie, and who would ever agree to that if you were consulted that was a possible outcome?) and stated that I was "robbing them" by asking for a discount. Not only am I livid about how my hair ended up, I am angry at how the situation was handled on a customer service level. The things they said to me after were unacceptable to a customer, let alone a customer who just had their hair completely ruined by an impatient stylist looking to upsell me. It was unethical and I should not have paid for this.
